Ratings and reviews

When I turn on airplane mode, this app will occasionally lock my phone in a half-way airplane mode that such that it can't be turned off from the quick access menu at the top of the screen. This forces me to go into the network settings to disable airplane mode there instead. Once I go into app info > storage > clear data, normal airplane mode operation from the quick menu at the top of the screen is restored. Please fix this.

Not sure what is happening, Play Services started sending invisible notifications on my Pixel 7, I will get the notification sound but there's nothing in my notifications, or notification history. If I sort by "most frequent" Play Services comes on top with 40+ notifications, yet, there aren't any I can find. This doesn't change anything if I set it to silent notifications, or if I but the phone in "Do not disturb". Lost of complaints online about this, but years later and still no fix

Google needs to tune up this service as it is an absolute resource hog. Play Services is constantly chewing up battery doing who knows what. For example, my phone has been idle for the last 1.5 hours with no other apps running, and Google Play Services has transmitted 3400 packets across wireless. I do not have sync'ing services turned on. I don't know what you folks are doing over there at Google, but you need to get your house in order.
